Thank me now!

Open your mind, embrace your heart, nourish your soul, and smile mang!




So check this out, Drake has a CD called Thank Me Later. It's off the hook, a lot of cameos, good concepts, tight beats, dope lyrics, and homeboy is from the dot so it makes it even more unique and special. Although the CD is entitled Thank me Later, the final song on the CD is called Thank me Now. Thank me now, hmmmm, what an interesting concept.



                                                          

 I was talking to my brother yesterday, and he told me that we really have to learn to cherish and value our time here together on Earth as opposed to only embracing memories when we are at funerals. Don't get me wrong, showing emotion at funerals is more than acceptable. However the immense out poor of emotion at a funeral, should be at the very least rivaled by the emission of love we show to one another; while breathing is still an option. You know we always end up missing a motherfucker when they gone, meanwhile when they are alive and well we seem to be busy, preoccupied, or tired.



Yo, I am guilty of this as well. I have nine nieces and nephews, five siblings, I wish I could see them more often. Well scratch all that wishing mess, it's time for me to step up and swallow my own words. I will make more of an effort to see my family, my friends, even my friends who I don't kick it with that often. I know that we can all be good at justifying reasons for not doing something, which sometimes prevails as a good resource. I challenge you to do this, next time we contemplate whether we're gonna do something or see someone, lets envision it being our last opportunity . . . . . . . . . . . . Let that marinate in your head for a few  . . . .






Shoot,

you

Thank me later, yeah I know what I said, but later doesn't always come so instead, you can thank me now!

Definitely. I don't believe in the afterlife so we have to appreciate people when they are here.

Word life, I dig that. We must appreciate all why we are here, thanks for the feedback.
